Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Gulden 1698 coin from the City of Deventer in the Dutch Republic is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin as a way to test its authenticity. During that time, counterfeit coins were a common problem, and this hole served as a way to verify that the coin was indeed made of real silver and not a fake. This feature is quite rare in coins from that era, making it a valuable and interesting collector's item.
